Synchronizing audio and the project tempo
To copy the project tempo to an audio clip’s tempo map
1. Configure the project’s tempo as desired (either specify the tempo manually, or extract the tempo
from another audio clip by using the Set Project Tempo from Clip button on the
AudioSnap palette).
2. Select the audio clip(s) that you want to follow the project tempo.
3. Press A to open the AudioSnap palette.
4. Click the Average Tempo box on the AudioSnap palette and select Set Clip Tempo From
Project on the drop-down menu.
The global project tempo map is copied to the clip tempo map so the tempo maps are identical.

Note: AudioSnap will always attempt to find the tempo of any clip recorded or imported into
SONAR. While several possible tempos are normally generated, in some cases AudioSnap
may be unable to detect the correct tempo or may not detect a tempo at all. This can occur if
the source material is highly compressed or does not contain transient markers on all actual
beats.
If AudioSnap is unable to detect a tempo from the clip, new transient markers are inserted on
each beat corresponding to the project’s global tempo map.
If AudioSnap detects possible tempos for the clip, existing transient markers (that appear within a
defined window of the project’s beats) are reassigned to nearby beat markers on the clip’s tempo
map.
